Magic Feather

Table of Contents

Magic Feather is my take on a more balanced Angel Ring from Extra Utilities.

It adds a feather that grants the player creative flight while within the range of an active vanilla Beacon.

This allows the player to enjoy the benefits of creative flight while building, without making exploration trivial.

If you wish to configure the range in which you can fly, check you Configurable Beacons, it's a companion mods that gives you more control over how beacons work. (You can change the range without it but it's better with)

You're free to use this in any modpack.

Just wanted to report that the mod sometimes doesn't work. I'm not sure why it doesn't, or what is preventing it from actually working as intended, but even when you're in radius of a beacon it doesn't work. https://gyazo.com/9cef349e0d264a7c54cbc44c4b522564

Would it be possible to add a config option or a whitelist to allow other mods to grant creative flight capabilities? I really like the idea and theme of this mod and I really like making exploration worthwhile again, but eventually, I want trivialized exploration to be an option just like trivialized resource gathering or trivialized power or trivialized everything else in modded minecraft.

Also, there are some mods where other kinds of flight are pretty much a requirement. The Aether is a big one, as is Abyssalcraft. Draconic Evolution as well.

If that's too far from your personally philosophy, I totally get it. I was hoping to use this mod as a way to get midgame flight for base-building, with a transition to more powerful flight methods later on. I personally feel like that once I've gotten Avaritia's Infinity Armor (for example), exploration isn't a challenge anymore. But it's your mod, your choice.

Also, someone's opened a github issue calling the complete disabling of creative flight a bug. I wasn't sure whether it was a bug or a design choice, so I thought I'd ask and make a request.

Yes! This exact concept is something I'd been posting about on Reddit months ago! Thank you so much for creating this (whether you saw my comments or not)! It's such a fantastic way to make building easier without ruining the exploration element of minecraft!
